(Q#1) In the "Folders" section of Windows Explorer I right click on
"HP_Pavilion (C" then select "Properties". I only get information on used
space (6.89GB), free space (2.72GB) and capacity (9.61GB). There is no
information concerning the total number of ("Top level") folders (88) or the
total number of files (51,611) on the C: drive. I got the total folder and
total file information by MANUALLY counting the number of folders ("Top
level") and right clicking for properties on EACH of the (88) ("Top level")
folders. This was a lot of work. Is there an easier way to get this
information?

(Q#2) When I ran AOL's program "AOL Spyware Protection" it scanned 51,743
files which is 132 more files than I counted. I double checked my manual
counting and got the exact same results. I then ran the NoAdware v3.0
(Spybot) spyware program and it scanned 60,323 files which is 8712 files more
than I counted. What are these extra files and where are they?
